Theerthamalai Mandir located in Dharmapuri Dist. TamilNadu
#longthread
Also known as Theerthagireeswar (Theertha+Giri+Eshwar)
Theertha = Holy Water
Giri = Hill
Eshwar = Bhagwan Shiva.
There is a deep connection of this Mandir with #Ramayana
@LostTemple7 @Vadicwarrior
@LostTemple7 @Vadicwarrior @davidfrawleyved @tourismgoi @Voice_For_India @mariawirth1 @tntourismoffcl @incredibleindia @AnuSatheesh5 @MinOfCultureGoI When Sri Ram killed Ravana – to nullify his Brahma Hatya Pataka Dosha on Him he did Abhisheka to Mahadev Shiva. Unfortunately Sri Hanuman could not reach mandir on time with Ganga water, Thus, Sri Rama shot an arrow on a hill stone creating Rama Theertha & completed the Pooja.
@LostTemple7 @Vadicwarrior @davidfrawleyved @tourismgoi @Voice_For_India @mariawirth1 @tntourismoffcl @incredibleindia @AnuSatheesh5 @MinOfCultureGoI Rama Theertha is a tiny water fall spring about 9 meters high. The force will be same thru out the year even in hot summer, & no one could identify the source of tiny water fall coming from hill stone. List of Theerthams surrounding the hill mandir:

Which is the World’s oldest Tape Recorder? by Sri Kanchi Paramacharya Mahaswami
#Thread
Once way back in 1940s/50s someone was conducting an interview with Kanchi Mahaperiyava. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder.
@KanchiMatham @AnuSatheesh5 @Vadicwarrior
Periyava then posed a question:
“Does anyone know which is the oldest known tape recorder?”
Nobody was able to answer. Then Mahaperiyava asked another question:
“How did #Vishnu #Sahasranamam come to us?”
Everyone said Bhishma Pitamah gave it.
All agreed.
Then #Mahaperiyava posed another query:
“When all were listening to Vishnu Sahasranamam, who took Notes at #Kurukshetra thousands of years back?”
Again silence.
Mahaperiyava started replying to everyone.
“When Bhishma Pitamah was glorifying Lord Krishna with Sahasranama i.e,

We know a well established GowShala near my place since 2013. This is the first time they asked for donations to protect our Gow Mathas & Dharma. So I am forwarding this request from Sri. Raman's message to our #Twitter family. @Vadicwarrior @AnuSatheesh5 @UshaNirmala #Thread
We, Raman & Chellamma, resident of Sainikpuri, Secunderabad, with all due respect while mentioning our activities, hereby make an appeal for your continuous blessings, co-operation.
We are running a Ghowshala since 1998, & stepped into 24th year of Ghowseva.
@kishanreddybjp
Initially it was started at our home in Sainikpuri, Secunderabad, with 4 cows & a robust bull, due to growing of Ghowmathas, added to space constraint Ghowshala was shifted to a vast area in Pillaypalli village, Pochampally Mandal, Telangana State. This present Ghowshala is

Why Is Jal (Water) Offered to Surya Bhagwan (Sun)?
Our body has a great need for colors, as these are vital for the well-being of the different parts of our body system. It may surprise many to know that several parts of the human body have different
@LostTemple7 @AnuSatheesh5 Why Is Jal (Water) Offered to Surya Bhagwan (Sun)?
colors. Our nerves are blue, the heart is red, kidneys & pancreas are brownish, the bones are white, & the brain nerves are in rainbow colors.
The rays of the sun are white, but when passed through a medium, they get broken into their basic hues. When we offer water or jal in the
morning to the rising sun in the prescribed manner, the sheet of water falling on to the ground works as a medium to split the sun’s rays into a spectrum of colors & enters our body to benefit us. If you wish to offer water to the sun, you must do it in the correct & prescribed

Experiences with Periva - Care for the Atheists too!
It was the beginning of May, with the sun at its scorching best. There was a political meeting opposite to Kacchabeswarar (Kacchabam - tortoise) mandir held by a group of Atheists. The audience was around 200. @Vadicwarrior Image
The leader swore that he would demolish all mandirs, build industries in those places & provide jobs to everyone.
Inside the Kanchi mutt, Periava called for the Paatti (elderly woman) who used to serve butter milk in front of the mutt. He told her to make an 'Unda' @AnuSatheesh5
full of butter milk. He listed the ingredients - asafoetida, curry leaves, green chillies, ginger, mustard (boiled). Sishyas & Bhaktas were surprised & were also worried because it was an ordinary day & there were not too many people at the mutt.
Meanwhile, the atheist's meeting
